This Animal-Themed Walk-Through Christmas Lights Display In Georgia Will Make Your Holiday Season Magical

Here in the Peach State, we know how to celebrate the season. For amazing Christmas lights in Georgia, one great spot you can head to is the Atlanta Zoo Christmas lights. Not all holiday events need to be draped in fake snow and cast in red, green, and white colors, right? And we have a holiday event in Georgia that takes place annually at Zoo Atlanta. The Christmas lights at the Atlanta Zoo are always incredible, and this is one of the best family Christmas events in Georgia. Families and friends can gather together for the incredible Chinese Lantern Festival known as Illuminights at Zoo Atlanta this year and enjoy a holiday light display that is unlike any other.

The Christmas lights at the zoo will be on display this year from November 16, 2023 to January 14, 2024. This holiday show is a favorite of many families, and you won't want to miss out on all the magic this Chinese lantern festival offers.

Illuminights at Zoo Atlanta features a bevy of animal-themed lanterns that light up the night sky. The Illuminights Atlanta Zoo tickets price is $20.99-24.99 for adults and $17.99-19.99 for kids under 12.

Guests will be able to stroll through the zoo after dark and enjoy the beauty of these environmentally friendly LED lanterns.

Most of the live animals in the zoo will be put away for the night, but you'll get to see more than 80 different animal lanterns. These different-colored magical animals are huge, with some more than 20 feet tall!

This holiday light show depicts some of the most majestic and charismatic animals in the world. Each lantern is hand-painted by artists.

These lanterns are visually stunning. Each one represents thousands of hours of work from their artisan creators.

The walk-through route is wheelchair and stroller-friendly. It takes about an hour to complete the path in its entirety.

Gift shops are open during the event, and food and beverages are available for purchase in certain areas of the park.
